Again, you can go find a FA running back or heck even a UDFA after the draft at RB and they'll give you the exact same production that Mixon and Gio have given you the past 2 years.
It's not hard to rank 5th from the bottom in the NFL in the running game.
Honestly, whenever Mixon's contract is cap friendly I'd cut him as well. Again, you can draft someone just as good as him at a lesser cost to the cap. I like Mixon but not for what he's counting against our cap.
How much of that is on the lousy offensive line that lets the runners get hit in the backfield?
